Daughtry Signs With Big Machine Records, Announces “Artificial” Single

The announcement follows the rock band’s announcement of their “Bare Bones” tour, a rare acoustic run with 26 additional U.S. dates beginning on August 9. Along with Billboard chart-topping rocker Ayron Jones, who will open on select dates, the upcoming shows represent a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase the artists’ incredible musical versatility and vocal skill in the most intimate of settings.

DAUGHTRY’s amped-up reinterpretation of the JOURNEY classic debuted at No. 1 on iTunes’ All Genres chart and reached No. 6 on Mediabase’s Active Rock chart, following the recent success of its Lzzy Hale duet, “Separate Ways (World’s Apart).” The tune has racked up millions of streams across platforms, winning plaudits from heavy hitters such as Variety, Billboard, Consequence, and American Songwriter, among others.

DAUGHTRY, one of the most visible and best-selling rock bands of the 21st century, has sold out concerts across the globe. Their debut album, the self-titled “Daughtry”, was the top-selling album of 2007 and was the fastest-selling rock debut album in SoundScan history. It was also nominated for four Grammy Awards and won four American Music Awards and seven Billboard Music Awards, including “Album Of The Year”. Subsequent albums “Leave This Town” (2009),“Break The Spell” (2011) and “Baptized” (2013) have all gone platinum, with “Cage To Rattle” (2018) certified gold. In 2021, DAUGHTRYreleased their album “Dearly Beloved”, which marked a return to their rock roots and a return to the top of the rock charts with their singles “World On Fire”, “Heavy Is The Crown” and “Changes Are Coming”, each reaching the Top 10 on Billboard’s Rock Airplay chart
